拍品專文

Mr. Fred Meijer of the RKD, to whom we are very grateful, regards this as an autograph work by Kalf, on the basis of photographs. This would reaffirm the traditional view of the painting as autograph, an opinion only challenged by Grisebach, loc. cit., who catalogued it as a copy of the picture in the Detroit Museum of Arts. However, there are numerous differences between the two compositions - indeed the only similarities are the arrangement of the same cup and cover and of the cut lemon peel. Grisebach, who had probably only seen the present picture through an old photograph in the RKD, explained the differences by hypothesizing that they were either the invention of the copyist, or that the picture is after a different, lost original.
